Career Development Program Workshop - Interview Workshop

We are pleased to announce our next scheduled FAPAC Career Development Workshop:

Presented by Kathy Newman

This 3-hour presentation will be offered on Tuesday, March 5, 2013 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm (Eastern Time) in the Department of Education.

It is the interview that gets you the job. The resume doesn’t get you the job. The resume gets you the interview. So what are the elements of a successful interview? What are the hiring official’s goals for the interview? How do you create the right chemistry in which you can inspire the hiring official with a positive outcome? What are the common mistakes in interviewing and how to prepare your script for interviews? Is there a secret for successful interviewing? How do we consistently and effectively do it? Interviewing sounds simple, but it is far from easy. This entertaining and thought-provoking presentation will help you see the power of interviewing in getting the job you want and will show the steps necessary to foster your personal readiness for a competitive advantage. The speaker will present the essential skill set for effective interviewing and engage you for a mock interview practice. It will mainly focus on the skill set needed to create a successful interviewing.
